Universal Music are prepping a 40th Anniversary reissue of Deep Purple‘s 1972 live tour-de-force Made In Japan.

Expected at the end of March 2014, this set will feature all three nights (Osaka 15th/16th August and Tokyo 17th August 1972) across three CDs and all the encores collected on a fourth disc (six tracks, including three Black Nights!). A fifth disc comes in the form of a DVD which contains a new documentary and some hi-res content.

Amazingly, there will also be a nine LP vinyl box with the full track listing from the CDs. All the audio for this reissue has been newly remixed by Martin Pullan.

Hasn't this expanded set been released before? - without the DVD though.
The original Black Night release is so live you can hear the sweat dripping off of them, it's great.
The trouble is with Made In Japan, it makes the original studio versions on Machine Head sound a bit lame in comparison, because I heard MIJ first.
Good stuff.

They have all been released to an extent. However the one release most folks don't have is the version of Black Night which was released on the EMI box set "Look Listen and Read On"

The remastering on the triple "Live In Japan" was awful as you can hardly hear Glover's Bass guitar. All the songs are across loads of CD's as the original "Made In Japan" has 45 seconds more of in between chatter.

I can't wait, only to be topped by an official release of an Animals gig.
